Love Poem: Atonement

Atonement

Atonement of those words that left from your mouth,
Which broke my heart beyond any bound.
Those gut-wrenching actions that I have seen from your eyes,
Are more painful than your lies.
That love you claimed was never mine,
For you, I have always been a rotten wine,
Sour and sharp, not so divine.
The moment that we had feels like a sham now,
Your presence now is my broken vow.
The gate has been closed, there is no way to trespass,
The love that I had is devastated, perhaps.
